Understand Your Credit, April 18, 1:30 – 4:00 pm

How’s Your Credit?

Your credit matters. Whether you need financing when you launch your business or you hope to expand it in the future, chances are that you will need to have a good credit score. If you’re not sure what your score is that’s a good sign that you should check and we can help.

The sooner you know the better. Better credit doesn’t happen over night, so checking early gives you the ability to build credit while you are developing your business.

About this seminar

Understand Your Credit is a great opportunity to get a better understanding of what your credit score means. We will run your credit report from two of the three credit bureaus and walk you thru the different components of the report. With your report in hand you can identify what is good and what could be improved. At the end of this seminar you will understand what affects your credit, why it matters, and how you can get the score you want.

Building your credit takes time so participants will be allowed to request a free second credit report one year after completing the seminar so they can see their hard work pay off.

Your Presenter

Neal McKeever received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon and also holds an international MBA from the University of San Diego. For the past 5 years, Neal has worked in financial counseling and education and is currently program manager at CHRC. Prior work includes International school director, micro-business owner, and curriculum developer.

Neal believes that having and maintaining positive credit has become a very important determiner of financial mobility. It is important that people understand the decision making processes of lenders and creditors – from what a credit report can tell, to defining healthy debt to income ratio.
